These startups will help you put extra time on your hands

Time is money. Don’t we all wish there were more than 24 hours a day?

Pity that’s not going to happen, unless there comes a day where the sun rises from the west and sets in the east. But with these 5 startups, they’ll make your days feel more productive than before.

Glueck Technologies

A common way for businesses and especially marketers to understand their users is to talk to them. But sometimes, what they say may not be what they think, or act. In fact, the best way to get into the minds of users is to analyse their behaviour. Here’s where Glueck comes into the picture. Armed with the understanding that most purchase decisions are influenced by emotions, they’ve designed algorithms and softwares to help businesses get real time data of what their users are thinking. Gone are the days where you pore over infinite rows of customer data and dissect them – now you can have them at your fingertips, at just a fraction of the time.

Ice House

It’s a mobile world today. Which also means that it’s increasingly difficult to compete in the mobile market. Developing a mobile solution isn’t something that can be completed in just a matter of days too. From sketching, prototyping, developing, shipping, to analytics, the number of man hours required would probably be a major deterrent for those intending to enter the app industry. With Ice House, you can set aside your worries, for they’ll leave no stone unturned in the app development process. They boast a pretty impressive portfolio, having worked with startups and even Fortune 500 companies. In their own words, “You Dream It, We Build It”.

QueQ

You’d probably agree that queuing is easily one of life’s biggest waste of time. While multi-tasking on our phones does make the waiting less painful, don’t you wish for a virtual queue system that eliminates the need for having your physical self present? You could do so much more with the time saved on queueing – running errands, completing your work, or even catching Pokemons. Now you can do just that with QueQ, which allows you to search for your desired restaurant within a 2km radius, and get your queue number from where you are.

Toffle

Do you have all your product data at your fingertips? I’d imagine you launching several excel sheets and clicking across different tabs to look for various data points, and if you wanted a consolidated view of all these numbers and trends, you’d proceed to pluck these numbers and put them into a chart. There’s actually an easier (and less time-consuming) way to do this – via Toffle. Toffle enables users to enter and manage product data from anywhere, visualise your data, and make better decisions with these information. With all these work simplified, it allows you to focus on the one thing that truly matters: growing your business.

Bentolingo

Learning a new language is time-consuming. Unfortunately, while there’s no shortcut to mastering one, here’s a potential solution that could help lessen the frustrations you face when picking up a foreign language – Bentolingo. A social learning platform and marketplace, Bentolingo aims to remedy common problems faced such as the unavailability of native speakers to practice with, lack of customised learning solutions, and limited language pairings, just to name a few.
